someone complained about my beluga whale oc having a butt like "ewww bruh that's not realistic it can't be why did you make her look like that ๐๐๐" and it sounds like some people have never seen any photos of real belugas
bitch the real beluga whales look litterally like humans wearing a suit or some kind of supernatural cratures from other world. just look at them!! after this i can't doubt one of these things will have a nice bouncy butt if becoming a half-human
The Chinese shoe manufacturer decided to demonstrate the indestructibility of their shoes
And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles
I was going to say, holy shit her doing all those things in stilettos.
babys dont even say gogo gaga anymore they just bite you and inject you with their babypoison
Its actually babyvenom. Do you know nothing about babies?
hey buddy figured id give you a heads up i found two bigass birds and paid them 10 bucks each to swoop down when you aren't paying attention and grab one of your arms each and pull as hard as they can to rip you in twain midair. so id start investing in ankle weights or something because you're gonna need em
thinking about how every time i tell a story on here about a stranger i encountered, i’ve begun purposely using gender-neutral pronouns because i realized that even though i want to live in a world where we don’t assume strangers’ genders, i was assigning genders to strangers all the time in my posts. and now that i’ve stopped it’s wild the look at the tags of all my posts about strangers referred to with gender-neutral pronouns, only for every tag which talks more about the stranger to assign “he/him” pronouns with the clear assumption being that the post is about a man, while nothing in the post actually indicates that whatsoever. the stranger could be identified as simply as “a bus driver” or “the person behind me in line at the store,” and thousands of people on this site will picture a man and go on to further discuss and describe that man in the tags.
this feels even more pointed when one of my posts about ME goes viral and ends up constantly reposted to Instagram and YouTube and TikTok, and all of the tags on here and all of the comment sections elsewhere call me a man, assume I’m a man. Thousands and thousands and thousands of times. Especially back when I explicitly used she/her pronouns and still identified as a woman when my old blog was at its height of popularity.
And now that I do ID as genderfluid and use he/him pronouns I wouldn’t even mind being misgendered once if it meant one single person alive online anywhere just once in godforsaken history read an interesting story and pictured a woman.
something I want to say as a personal statement, speaking for me, Shelby Donahue:
It always troubles me when people talk about trans women (like Meagan and Autumn Hill, my partners who I talk to every day) in men's prisons, describing them as "rape concentration camps" and emphasizing the sexual violence there. Both Meagan and Autumn Hill have told me, explicitly, that the vast majority of their fellow prisoners respect them and respect their gender, and while some prisoners have been threatening (particularly to Meagan), that the violence against them has primarily come from the institutional systems of the guards, wardens, etc. I know this in part because of their actions: Meagan and Autumn Hill have consistently helped their fellow prisoners, with little things like getting artwork to help a prisoner draw a birthday card for his child, or bigger things like helping someone get back in contact with their family. And a lot of prisoners have been supportive to Meagan and Autumn Hill, especially when they know about the Prairieland case. They make snacks to share, trade books, and comfort Meagan when she's feeling particularly sad.
I say all this for two reasons. The first is that prisoners are not all rapists or bigots, and in fact many of them are not even guilty of the crimes they're arrested for. They're an oppressed class of people, even the worst of them, and they deserve to be understood as individuals, not a nameless and faceless mass of violent threats. And, as individuals, a lot of them have been good comrades to Meagan and Autumn Hill. I want people to keep that in mind when thinking about prisoners. There's a lot of racial stereotypes and bigotries in the way people think of prisoners in the USA, and we need to unlearn those things and understand prisoners as people, as our equals.
The second reason is that you, and me, and everyone we know may end up in jail, or prison. I think about that a lot - getting raided by the FBI will have that effect on you. If we end up in prison, we have to understand the risks and dangers realistically, without excessive fear or unrealistic optimism. And I think it's important people know the facts about what prison is like, and what prisoners are like. Not everyone is violent in prison - but everyone there is the victim of a lot of violence. There are potential friends and allies everywhere.
